# hugetlbfs\_find\_path\_for\_size(3)

Locate an appropriate hugetlbfs mount point

Part of [hugetlbfs\_find\_path(3)](/hugetlbfs_find_path/3.md).

## NAME

hugetlbfs\_find\_path, hugetlbfs\_find\_path\_for\_size - Locate an appropriate hugetlbfs mount point

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<hugetlbfs.h\>**

const char \*hugetlbfs\_find\_path(void);\
 const char \*hugetlbfs\_find\_path\_for\_size(long page\_size);

## DESCRIPTION

These functions return a pathname for a mounted hugetlbfs filesystem for the appropriate huge page size.  For hugetlbfs\_find\_path, the default huge page size is used (see [gethugepagesize(3)](/gethugepagesize/3.md)).  For hugetlbfs\_find\_path\_for\_size, a valid huge page size must be specified (see [gethugepagesizes(3)](/gethugepagesizes/3.md)).

## RETURN VALUE

On success, a non-NULL value is returned. On failure, NULL is returned.
